Bruce is very motivating! Many of our managers have commented that it was the best conference they have ever been to, and we need to keep in mind that we have had some very excellent conferences in the past. The energy Bruce exuded during his presentations was fantastic and also quite contagious!

The content was tailored to our needs and even altered on the plane on the way to Bali to suit my last minute requests. Bruce is by far the most professional and motivating speaker I have had the pleasure to see present and we will definitely be utilizing his expertise for conferences in the future.

Swim Australia
I am pleased to report that on all occasions Bruce has received ‘top marks’. One can readily appreciate the result. Bruce’s manner, content knowledge, preparation and communication skills are unsurpassed in my Australian and International experience.

Ergon Energy
Involving all of the participants, Bruce has a natural gift of being able to bring out the best in ourselves in a non-threatening and professional manner. Fueled by his passion on the subjects, his depth of knowledge and ability to challenge us, Bruce was able to take us to a different level of thinking and challenge us to think about how we do things.

Even after our time away, discussions on our time with Bruce continue to be on our monthly agenda as we continue to improve what we do to be effective leaders.

Holden
Bruce’s ability to capture an audience and hold their attention is the best I have seen after 33 years experience in the Automotive Business. Bruce has the ability to engage an audience in such a manner that ensures the learning experience is remembered long after the actual presentation. This is the Bruce Sullivan “Difference” - the difference between just another training presentation and true value for money!

Australian University Sport

• Bruce was fantastic! Really helps you open your eyes and look at the bigger picture. I feel I took more away from this session than the entire conference.
• Bruce is by far the most interesting and inspiring guest speaker that I have listened to. He is a very talented man.
• He was amazing! Bruce has taught me so much about myself and also helped in being able to apply what we had learnt throughout the week to our own universities.
• Bruce was informative, practical, energetic and simplified some complex issues/ideals into workable and practical solutions that can be implemented in professional and personal situations.

Independent Grocers of Australia (IGA)
Bruce was chosen because of his depth of topics, adaptability and knowledge, all to be achieved in an environment of fun and entertainment to a group of people who do not favour sitting still for any period of time. Busy, hard working people with a range of backgrounds and experience always provide the conference management team with a challenge to achieve the right content, message and delivery. Bruce provided the perfect balance from the start of the day’s breakfast topic of ‘Happy at Home, Happy at Work’, and continued through our success message to teambuilding, motivation, focus and leadership sessions. The entire audience were attentive, ready to participate and were having fun from start to finish.

Bruce’s preparation, conference planning participation and contribution were all outstanding including offers of supporting documentation, procedure and scheduling assistance all in a prompt, polite and professional manner. The conference sessions were excellent, and included very positive feedback from the audience supporting the clarity, importance and motivation found from the content and delivery. From a conference management perspective, the timing and delivery was perfect, meeting every scheduled time point with exceptional completion and message reinforcement. Bruce’s ability to reference the “Facts of Life” message through personal reflection and family situation completed the message with credibility.

BHP Billiton – Global Maintenance Network
Bruce’s passion, energy and flexibility in presenting to our audiences of 13 or 130 are testimony to his desire to influence and change behaviours to benefit work teams and global organisations working together to achieve win-win relationships. His life experiences both professional and personal provide a wealth of learning opportunities that would benefit many organisations.

AMP Society
Tremendous; Tremendous; Just what we needed! This is the feedback from our advisers as a result of your sessions at AMP’s “Market for Excellence” Convention. Your presentations of “Going new places with Used People” and “Marketing Magic and Mess Up’s” have received excellent written feedback from the conference delegates. Congratulations on a great result!

The delegates, who are members of AMP’s elite top 5% of advisers, were unanimous in their feedback with several suggesting it was one of the most valuable peer group seminars they have attended. The innovative way in which you present, guarantees a captive audience, and your ability to have the group thinking outside the square ensures results.

The Australian Society of CPA’s
5+++ EXCELLENT! What a fantastic, enthusiastic presenter! I’m inspired to make changes in my leadership and management approach. Brilliant presentation – highly relevant and inspirational.

Group Training Australia
I was amazed by Bruce’s enthusiasm and professionalism, and was prepared to be disappointed “in the flesh” – maybe that spark didn’t translate to the podium. But it certainly did – and delegates demanded Bruce’s return for our next national conference!

Freshwater State School
Bruce Sullivan walks the talk! His greatest trait is his ability to understand people and he uses that trait to great effect, working with a diverse range of people to achieve the best outcomes for their organisation.

Gadens Lawyers
Bruce assisted us greatly in the preparation of the program for our 2002 whole firm retreat. This retreat was such a success that we asked him back to present at our retreat the following year. Once again, Bruce set such a high standard that, although we thought that we should have a change of presenter this year (surely he couldn’t pull it off three times in a row!), we’ve been hard pushed to find someone to fill Bruce’s shoes.

Jetset Travel
My personal benchmark for effective training is whether I retain and use the skills acquired over a period of time as opposed to the ‘buzz’ we often get initially when we attend such sessions. I can clearly recall the sessions, the skills, the application and the benefit of Bruce’s sessions.

The Salvation Army
It was obvious from the general atmosphere right from the start that everyone was responding to him and benefiting from all the information given. The talk around the office the following day continued in a very positive vein.

National Institute of Accountants
Bruce’s professional attitude, approach and assistance in the lead-up to the Congress and on the day made the program easier to organise, and his totally dynamic presentation helped make the Congress and Business Expo a huge success. Bruce has the ability to charm and capture the attention of an audience, while delivering a valuable message with humour and honesty.

Proserpine State High School
While much of Bruce’s work was directed towards the single day activity, his approaches to us prior to the day and continuous follow up after has been greatly appreciated. We would highly recommend his approach to organisational health as he most certainly established for us, the development of change goals, action discussions and the development of new change-supporting structures.

Crane Industry Council of Australia
Your keynote address set the scene for the speakers to follow. I was acutely aware of the success of the session when delegates were still talking about it two days later.

Suncorp Metway
The feedback I have received from a number of consultants has all been very positive to the extent that even the ‘hardcore’ consultants benefited from and appreciated the manner in which your presentation was delivered.

You have made a significant input to this organisation and its future.

From an organiser’s point of view it was great to work with such a professional. The feedback has been very positive from across the board – thanks for sticking so closely to the brief!

The Executive Connection (TEC)
This is just a note to thank you most sincerely for giving us so much of your valuable time to come to Mt Broughton on Sunday to address TEC and our spouses – not so much to “address” us but rather to enlighten, entertain, challenge, share and altogether make our weekend retreat a great success!

Nestle
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and Malcolm for your valued contribution to our recent sales conference at Sanctuary Cove. You exceeded our expectations in the presentation of your ideas and concepts and the overall feedback from the team was extremely positive.
